Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' at 30: unknown facts

  • Micheal Jackson’s musical palate was extensive and electic, including African music. That’s the reason for the famous chant “ma ma se ma ma sa ma ma coo sa” at the end of “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’”. In fact, the originator of that chant, Manu Dibango of Cameroon in Africa, successfully sued Jackson for lifting that chant.
